Seasoned Zentanglers know there is difference between tangling and doodling. When I was drawing this, I felt it was more of a doodle than a tangle - perhaps because I wasn't using traditional Zentangle patterns. Yet, I was using repetitive patterns to create a piece of art. And I was certainly in the Zen mode. What is the difference?
After I finished drawing it, I scanned it and embellished it with digital scrapbook paper using PhotoShop.

Zentangle... an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns created by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts. They believe that life is an art form and that Zentangle is a perfect metaphor for deliberate artistry in life. To learn more about the process, please visit their beautiful web site at www.zentangle.com.
This looks to me like a beautiful blend of doodling and Zentangle Inspired Art. When you drew your "string" you were in effect doodling, but when you added your detail in repetitive strokes you were experiencing the peace that comes from creating a zentangle. I love your work, you have been an inspiration to me.
